Stacking up hundreds of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/egg-cartons-recycled-into-awesome-office-lamps/" target="_blank">reused egg cartons</a> like Lego blocks, Australia-based studio <a href="http://www.goldenhen.com.au/work/hello-world/" target="_blank">Goldenhen</a> built a life-sized home called "The Original Dream". Considered the first "Eggo" installation exhibition, the egg carton home was modeled after Howard Arkley's well-known painting, <em><a href="http://arkleyworks.com/?p=5636" target="_blank">Family Home: Suburban Exterior 1993</a></em>, which is considered the Australian dream of suburban living. Goldenhen reimagined the dream home using recycled and colored egg cartons and egg trays that bring a whole new meaning to the catch phrase, "Leggo my Eggo."
